After reading a few comments on X, xQc admitted that the outfit was nice. He further added, "He's like me for real. I hate it here. W cosplay. It is nice, it is nice...."

Asmongold and xQc extensively covered the well-liked Depp v Heard public trials on their livestreams. In fact, the two were included in the most recent Netflix documentary about that topic.

On the other side, Elon Musk confirmed the rumor of Heard's cosplay by posting a photo of her decked out as Mercy, which sparked a full-blown meme frenzy on platform X (previously Twitter).

As soon as the tweet went viral, many netizens reacted and shared their opinions. A user wrote, "That doesn't make sense. AH is anything but nice."
